It’s actually pretty easy with the guided installer currently shipping with arch, and there are actually numerous guides on how to install Arch.
Choosing not to is perfectly reasonable, but it’s not for lack of effort from the Linux community trying to make things easier and more accessible.
Kinda weird to isolate Polish when Hungarian, Finnish and Basque are actually all their own distinct language families.
Polish actually isn’t in a distinct language family and shares a lot with other western Slavic languages like Czech, and Slavic languages in general.
Two car lengths isn’t even remotely enough space if you’re traveling at high speeds.
I’m not arguing against piracy. It’s obviously not stealing. That was my first point.
My whole thing is that embellishing the obvious factual statement that “piracy is not theft,” doesn’t really drive the point home any more effectively. I find this specific argument needlessly clunky when the first point remains true in any context.
Making a digital copy of something is not the same as stealing. In many instances, the occurrence of piracy is actually beneficial to the party releasing the digital product.
Paying for a service actually doesn’t mean you own lifetime access to that service.
I’m all for boycotting on the basis of greedy monopolies attempting to extract more cash without any added value, but this argument doesn’t really make a lot of sense.
30 is young. Back pain is mostly a collection of chronic pain symptoms that don’t correspond to meaningful harm or damage. You’re probably not in need of “healing” because there’s probably nothing actually wrong with you. You’re not broken; you’ve just trained your nervous system to produce a pain sensation because you’re hyper fixated on it.
I don’t know why all these memes are coming up that contribute to this idea that being over 30 means you’re somehow disabled. You’re probably not, and perpetuating this idea is decidedly unhelpful, even in a joking context.
When I turned 30 I committed to taking fitness seriously. I reached a higher level of physical fitness and athleticism than my younger and less disciplined self could have managed. I was able to perform on an much higher level in my chosen occupation, which was performance based and exceptionally difficult physically, and because I did more strength training I had the ability to inoculate myself from injury. Basically, I feel better than ever because I started taking this stuff more seriously.
You have agency, too.
What about vaping? It may be somewhat “less” dangerous but likely shares most of the same risks.
Roma people have historically been very persecuted because of racism and ethnocentrism. Case in point: the holocaust killed up to 500,000 Romani people, but the actual figures are not known. Roma people are among the groups that are rarely talked about when the Holocaust is mentioned, despite losing up to 50% of their total population at the time.
Arab and North African folks are usually considered white on the US census but that isn’t really an accurate picture.
Race is a social construct that doesn’t have clear borders. Racial categories mostly exist as a way of creating division and limiting access to resources, to flatten the diversity of individual cultures represented by a racial category… or to inflict direct and systemic violence. The experience of being a racialized person is entirely the creation of the society that a person lives within; for example, African folks usually don’t self-identify as “black,” within Africa, but that’s an important racialized experience that people can speak to in a place like the US.
Yes. And also the explanation for why they’re worsening is not exclusively because of fossil fuels/climate change. That is a factor, but others include terrible forestry practices (including, somewhat paradoxically, fire mitigation and fighting).
Not trying to let oil and gas companies off the hook. It’s just an issue that has a lot of shared blame between different industries.
Just a heads up: you put the closing parenthesis and period inside the hyperlink you posted.
Nbd, and good comment, just letting you know.
I legit can’t imagine hurting a bee. Wasps I’m less sympathetic to. But I love bees.
Technically ticks are arachnids, not insects.
And also yeah. Fuck ticks altogether.
It is an unfortunate thing, because tankies are actually a problem. And I do mean the real term, as in the folks who identify with dictatorships that are so-called communist.
The reason it’s a problem is that the folks who are left-leaning but uneducated sometimes get swept up in pro-authoritarian rhetoric that happens to oppose the west. I’m anticapitalist, leftist, etc. I see tankies and fascists having a lot in common. That seems dangerous in the sense that fascism is a real threat. Also, then, our ranks are being thinned out and co-opted by specific bad-faith actors. At the same time, when people buy into tankie (pro-Russia, pro-China, pro-North Korea) propaganda, this more or less consolidates some of the power that opposes actual leftists (as in, people who support human rights, equitable societies, environmental protection, etc).
Not really any argument against what you’re saying. Just kind of adding that the term tankie is actually useful to describe a specific viewpoint, but obviously not in the way that the previous commenter used it.
I don’t know if they’re aware of this, but they’re also urging users to ditch Microsoft as a matter of course.
There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution that works
I think it’s primarily targeting the handheld gaming market
You can also sideload epubs, borrow books from libraries on Overdrive and read articles online, etc. It’s way easier on the eyes than screens that rely on refresh rates (which also make them better to use before sleep), they have long battery life. And it’s a lot lighter than carrying books around.
They have a lot of advantages over other platforms for reading.
Almost any depiction of how consent works.
